CRUISE BY YACHT
AUCKLAND TO JAVA By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, May 2. News concerning the progress of the Auckland built yacht Vision, which left more than a year ago on an extended cruise, states that the vessel has reached Java, and intends to make for Singapore. When the Vision left Auckland on April 18, 1934, she had a crew of five comprising the owner, Commander H. M. Montague, R.N. (retired) and Mrs Montague, Mr and Mrs Alan Temple, all of the Bay of Islands, and Mr M. O. Guthrie, of Wellington. Owing to unforeseen circumstances the ship’s company gradually dwindled until only Commander Montague and his wife were left. For two or three months they navigated the craft alone, and when two natives were engaged to assist they proved of little help. The Vision proceeded from Auckland to Norfolk Island, and spent a considerable time at various Queensland ports. She next steered through Torres Strait and or the last six or seven months has been'cruising in a leisurely fashion in the Malay Archipelago. The Vision is standing up to her work splendidly. A trip to India has been planned, but she probably will not leave Singapore until September owing to the season being unfavourable.
